New TS Series vs. Traditional Grow Lights

With so many grow light options available, more and more growers are choosing to upgrade to LED plant grow lights. So, as the entry-level LED grow light, how does the New TS Series stand out from traditional grow lights?

Spectrum

The new TS Series offers a full spectrum (380nm-740nm) with a balanced mix of red, blue, and white light, supporting plants through the whole growth stage, from seedling to flowering. In contrast, traditional fluorescent and high-pressure sodium lamps have limited or uneven spectra, which may not meet plants’ needs and could even cause harm.

Advanced Functions

The 2026 New Update TS Series grow lights feature smart dimming functionality. Simply enable Bluetooth on your smartphone, connect to the lights, and control them through the MarsPro app. The New TS Series also supports daisy chaining, allowing multiple lights to be linked and controlled efficiently from a single device. Traditional grow lights lack these advanced features, making them harder to manage, especially in larger setups.

Energy-efficient

The New TS Series boasts low energy consumption, ranging from 50W to 450W, and is 40%-50% more efficient than traditional HPS lights. This can save you $20-$40 on electricity bills over the winter. For example, the TS1000 delivers a PPF of 343 µmol/s, providing over 50% more photon efficiency than older HPS/MH lights. At just 150W, it replaces a 250W HPS light.

Light Output

The New TS Series LEDs are evenly arranged for uniform light coverage across the plant. In contrast, traditional grow lights often have uneven distribution, with too much light in the center and too little at the edges. The TS Series maintains consistent intensity over time, thanks to minimal heat and durable components. Traditional lights, however, lose efficiency and brightness as they age due to heat and component wear.

Heat Management

LEDs convert electrical energy directly into light, generating minimal heat. Combined with a passive cooling design, the New TS Series is ideal for small spaces and temperature-sensitive plants. In contrast, HPS and MH lights generate excessive heat, and they usually require additional cooling systems, increasing energy use and costs.
